My problem with the Quiznos is the quality control between stores is pretty bad.  I like the JJ bread but overall their sandwiches I feel like I can make at home.
That store downtown is awful. Badly managed. Their pepper bar always looks like it's been out for days too.

I wish I had a Goodcents near me, but knowing how way leads on to way, it's Jersey Mike's by a mile.
We have one close to me and I avoid it at times because of their manager. This will probably make me sound like a bad person, but the kid is so over the top nice and full of life, it makes the trip awkward. He's like "How's my main man doing today?!, What's up King?, Bro, how we killing life today?, etc" and he goes on and on and shares some random story and there's days I just can't.

You're right. That does make you sound like a bad person.
Nah, I get it. Sometimes that kind of positivity can be overwhelming. It's appreciated but sometimes too much. Part of customer service is reading your customer's body language.

Tell him to eff off, then? You don't even need to say the words "eff off." Just be assertive.

JJ's is barely a step above Subway IMO.

This seems like a Seinfeld episode to me, but I can't quite pin it down. Ramon the pool boy and Elaine pretending to be deaf for her car service popped into my head, but I feel there's another episode with Jerry that I can't quite put my finger on that more closely resembles 420cats predicament.

We don't really eat fast food type stuff, but I did a bit when I travelled and the correct answer is a good Potbelly. I would grab them a couple times a week when I was up north. Great hot sandwiches and soups. I tried the one on Johnson drive that closed and it was terrible every time. It was odd, because I love Potbelly. My other answer is based on a sandwich you can eat while driving. Jimmy Johns was my go to. Very simple and delicious and it didn't get all over me when driving.

yeah that was my primary thinking too.  Then those airport ones.  Woof.  It was nice in a hungover pinch though

It feels like ballot fraud, to me.

This is exactly how I am with haircuts. I literally do not want you to talk to me unless you need me to move my head.

Jer Mike's and Potbelly are far clear of everyone else.

Wichita cats, is City Bites still a thing? If so they are also amaze balls.

Capriotti's is the biggest over priced rip off O.A.T.

Firehouse is also severely overpriced.

Wacky, being a good Midwesterner I'm surprised you didn't include McCallister's.

I've switched barbers because of this.

100%. You could be thinking of a number of episodes. Maybe The Doorman?
